The brain has a dual cortex, left and right. Each has a projection called the left and right temporal lobes respectively. The later is associated with retaining voice-intoned (singing) memories, familiar incidents, and analysis of non-verbal data. The former takes care of listed information, recognizes monotone language, and analyses verbal terminologies. In case a portion of the brain is lagging, recalling memories linked to that part of the brain is also going to dawdle.

But can all types of memory lapses in our fast life be classified as significant memory loss? No, say researchers. But you definitely need to look for telltale signs that may indicate what kind of loss you are experiencing:

If something is related to your daily routine and life and your having trouble remembering it you need to get checked out.  Such things like anniversaries, birthdays, and where you keep your keys.

Do you keep forgetting answers to questions that have already been answered? Let me be more specific. Are your friends and relatives lately commenting on your repetitive forgetfulness? Chances are high that you are experiencing short-term memory loss.

Often you will forget where you place items or find them in peculiar places then its time to see a doctor.

Paying close attention to these telling signs goes a long way in early detection and timely recovery. The sooner they are detected and psychiatrist consulted, the better.

One of the most efficient remedies as suggested by recent memory loss research is olfactory stimulation through one or both nostrils (smelling peppermints or cloves). This activates the hippocampus and more generally the temporal lobe. One-sided Visual stimulation or auditory stimulation may also be very advantageous. While familiar faces stimulate the left amygdala of the temporal lobe, unfamiliar faces activate the right amygdala. Other curative methods can be word searches, solving mazes, looking at big letters made out of small ones, etc.

There is alternative therapy for memory loss. The therapy can start with nutritional supplements for memory loss.
